Great Ming: Old Zhu, I’m Really Not Your Grandson

In the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu, eighteen-year-old Zhu Xiongying warms himself by the brazier as he waits for his old friend, Old Zhu.

In Yingtian Prefecture, it is thanks to Old Zhu's help that he has managed to find a place for himself in the law-bound Great Ming.

When an emperor flies into a rage, a million corpses litter the land and rivers run red. When Zhu Yuanzhang gets angry, a hundred thousand corrupt officials are sent to their deaths. This is no joke.

Zhu Xiongying doesn't know that Old Zhu is Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang: "The more I look at this child, the more he resembles my precious grandson, the one I lost when he was only eight."

Zhu Xiongying: "Old Zhu, stop staring. I'm really not your grandson."

Zhu Yuanzhang: "Have the Embroidered Uniform Guard investigate this child's background at once!" His legitimate grandson is the one he cares about most.

The hundred thousand guards return with a shocking secret: this is the imperial grandson of Great Ming, who should have died ten years ago!

Zhu Yuanzhang: "It's you! It really is you! You're my grandson!"

Zhu Xiongying: "Old Zhu, what's so good about being your grandson?"

Zhu Yuanzhang: "I've got a throne. Want it?"
